Gloutious Sticky Rice Balls a.k.a Wedang Ronde

The idea came by when having lunch at Plaza Bapindo's food court. I always take a minute or two to stop by at the convenience store there. So, I look around at got few blocks of Ting-Ting nuts on hand when I about to check out at the cashier.

So, I thought why not to try vania's wedang ronde recipe since it is similar to our traditional Onde-Onde made by my granddad for one of the chinese traditional event where all of must at least must eat them at the number according to our age *hihihi* I really don't know does it only im my family or same as the others :) Lucky my granddad made was tiny balls and easily to eat for 29 *hahaha* And my granddad's onde-onde has no filling, it's a plain one with colours.
